Motorola fired a series of broadsides at the battery life of Samsung’s top-end smartphone today, as it went out of its way to differentiate itself from its Android competitors.

At the launch of its new Moto X phones in London, Motorola design don Jim Wicks said that Moto X Style buyers can expect up to ten hours more battery life in day-to-day use than owners of the more expensive Samsung Galaxy S6.

That’s on top of Motorola’s claim that the Moto X is the 'world’s fastest-charging smartphone'.

The gadget-maker was also keen to talk up the battery longevity credentials of its other new addition to the Moto X range, the Play.

Not least by noting that the Moto X Play’s 3630mAh battery is 42% larger than Samsung’s Galaxy S6, which appears to have been directly in Motorola’s firing line today.
